The deadline for our chapbook contest has come and gone, and we're in the process of, well, processing all the fine work you and yours sent our way. We'll get those entries to our preliminary judges next week. By mid-June we expect to ship off ten finalists to our final judge -- whose identity we know, but we need to dot a few i's and cross a few t's before we announce the name. Our goal is to announce the winner of the contest by August 1.

Thanks, as always, for submitting your work to us. We'll keep you posted as we have news.

Please say Something! Your silence is making me catch writer's block. I'm an old and lonely man living with ugly cats. Cat hair is all over the place. I sneak out sometimes to write funny rhymes, but when I come back in those ugly cats start yelling at me. I am becoming so afraid of those ugly cats. Oh My, They are now slowly surrounding me and their demanding screams are becoming completely louder. What a way to go! Trapped by ugly cats and my pen is now out of ink.
